NYC protest gets heated when Yemen leader is seenNEW YORK (AP) — A protest against embattled Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh outside a luxury hotel in New York got heated Sunday when demonstrators saw him leave the building, with one charging toward him and another throwing a shoe."Everybody is living in fear of this guy at home, but here, he's getting good treatment!" said Yemeni immigrant Nasser Almroot, a Brooklyn grocer.The dozen angry protesters were kept behind police barricades across the street from the Ritz-Carlton hotel, which was teeming with security guards, both inside and on the sidewalk where Saleh passed.Want to find game sites?

Suddenly, one of them tried to charge across the street but was restrained by police, who wrestled him to the ground."He can't help it, the killer is here," Almroot said.Want to find game sites?

Showing the sole of a shoe is an insult in Arab culture, because it is on the lowest part of the body, the foot. To hit someone with a shoe is seen as even worse.Saleh got into his car and his motorcade left for an unknown destination.Since he arrived in New York about a week ago, the Yemeni president has kept a low profile.His presence, however, has been controversial.On Sunday, the protesters hoisted placards bearing photos of Yemenis badly bloodied and brutally killed during his government's yearlong crackdown on anti-Saleh demonstrations.Saleh signed a deal in November to transfer power to his vice president in exchange for immunity from prosecution.An election is scheduled for Feb. 21 to select his successor in a nation mired in poverty and divided among powerful tribes and political factions.While Saleh has been an anti-terrorism ally of Washington, the United States has not officially welcomed a leader accused of killing hundreds of people during an uprising against his 33-year rule.Want to find game sites?

Hospital officials have not confirmed whether Saleh was a patient there.
